Homemade Salisbury Steak Recipe - tender, juicy and savory Salisbury steaks smothered in a rich mushroom and onion gravy is pure comfort food in 35 minutes!
This recipe is inspired by Ree Drummond Salisbury Steaks. You may know how much I adore the Pioneer Woman, so when I saw this recipe on her site years ago, I had to try it out.

What kind of meat is Salisbury steak?
Salisbury steak is a combination of juicy ground beef patties smothered in a brown gravy with onions and mushrooms. It is a version of Hamburg steak. Trust me, these are not like the frozen TV dinners you had as a kid though.
Shopping List
To make Salisbury steak, you will need the following items:
- lean ground beef
- seasoned breadcrumbs
- dry ground mustard
- beef bouillon
- ketchup
- onion (I like sweet Vidalia onions)
- mushrooms - button, cremini or both!
- beef stock
- Worcestershire sauce
- Kitchen Bouquet (optional)
- cornstarch
- salted butter
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
How do you make Salisbury Steak?
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef with the seasoned breadcrumbs, dry mustard, crushed beef bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and then season with salt and pepper.
- Form the beef mixture into about 6 oval patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and the olive oil to the skillet.
- Fry the patties until they are no longer pink in the middle.
- After that, remove the patties and set aside. Pour off any extra grease from the patties.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and onions to the same pan and cook until the onions are tender and golden brown.
- Then, add the beef stock, Worcestershire, and ketchup. Stir and cook to reduce.
- Make a slurry with the cornstarch and a little water or broth and add it to the gravy to help thicken it.
- Return the patties to the skillet and coat them with the onion and mushroom gravy.
Like Ree, I add Kitchen Bouquet to give my gravy a dark glossy appearance and a little flavor boost, but this is optional.
The Pioneer Woman Salisbury Steak recipe, with a few tweaks, is my absolute favorite homecooked comfort food meal! Easy to see why I love it so much, right?

- If you don't care for mushrooms, you can absolutely leave them out.
